The staff knows their stuff, and is more than willing to help you decide between pedals, powerbars, or whatever you are in need of. They are located right at the trailhead for kingdom trails (mountain biking), next to east Burke market, and along the bank of a lazy bend in the river. Pro tip: for a little mountain bike recharge- Grab a drink and a snack from the market and post up on a picnic bench. The Constant flow of bikers is always amusing.

I went to the Ladies All Ride event with my family this past weekend and needed a mountain bike to ride on, so I rented one from the shop. I appreciate the attention to detail the associates put into making sure I was well fitted to the bike. They let me try out a couple of bikes, adjusted the seat to my height, watched me ride in the parking lot to make sure I was well aligned and checked in at the end of each day when I got back to see how it went. Highly recommend this place if you want to be well taken care of!

What?!? No rave reviews for Kingdom Experiences yet?? I am thrilled to be the first!…read more This past Memorial Day weekend was our second time using Kingdom Experiences for our guides Kingdom Trails. We went back to them because our first experience was so great, and we'll be back with them again later this season! Our guide Ian was outstanding. He talked to us about the type of riding we were looking to do, and perfectly matched our skills and time frame to our ride. He checked in frequently during the ride to make sure the pace and trails were a fit for us. I would recommend Kingdom Experiences highly. Both email and phone conversations with Caitlin were easy and pleasant. Get out and RIDE!

I love the VT- Canada border and when I heard of this bike path, I made a special trip north to…read morecheck it out. 11.2 miles, round trip., the path starts in downtown Newport at the waterfront - State building. Trail markers point the way north to Beebe. The path starts in town, through the waterfront park, past the Prouty Beach and to the North County Hospital, where it leads onto an old gravel train rail bed. The trail is for beginners. Its all flat and look a little over 1 hour to complete the round trip. Hybrid bikes will work fine. Some locals call this trail the Beebe Spur 'n spin. Beautiful scenery that travels along Lake Memphremagog, and the backyards of the locals that have lake access. In Beebe, the path turns off the lake, and travels through some local farms for a few more miles, until it ends at a local road at the US- Canada Border. A sign will warn you to check in with customs if you wish to continue to ride. We did not have our passports so we turned around. Next time we may venture further.

Here is a description of the 30-mile ride I took this week - PASSPORT REQUIRED: Park at North County Hospital on Prouty Rd. (Newport). Trail starts 200 feet east. Pick up the gravel trail heading north by Lake Mephremagog. Good conditions for Hybrid and trail bike tires. At the end of the trail, take a right onto the paved road (North Derby Rd.) Approx. 2 miles to the end, then left. Pass through Canadian customs. Take a quick, few-hundred feet detour, east from the Customs house for a photo of Canusa St. dividing the US/Canada. Then back to the customs station and a right following Rt. 247 north for about 3/4 mile, past a large "Rediker" stone and a couple of banks, until you see the Tomifobia Nature Trail heading off to the right. The first mile of this 19-km trail isn't too scenic but it gets better very quickly. I went about 5 miles down the trail, then turned around and came back to the marked road barrier at "Ch. de Stanstead" (Stanstead Rd.?). There's a pond to your right at this crossing. Left /southeast on Ch. de Stanstead for about 2 miles to its end, then left (east) on Rue Maple. (This Stanstead/Maple roads part is seriously uphill for a total of about 2.5 miles). At the end of Rue Maple, you're in downtown Stanstead. Take a right (south) onto Rt. 143/Rue Dufferin heading back towards the US border. Just before the border, make a left on Boulevard Notre Dame, then a quick right on Baxter. A couple of blocks take you to the Haskell Library and Opera house, straddling the border. Park the bike on the Canadian side and walk around to the front door of the library which is on the US side. Make sure to take a tour for 5 bucks to see the opera house and the stripes on the floors that mark the border running through the building. From the library, go back north on Rue Church, 1/4 mile to Blvd. Notre Dame (Rt. 247) and take a left (west). Cross Rt. 143 (large stone fountain will be on your left). After a quick down-hill (1/4 mile), bear to the right on Rue Passenger, following black on white signs for "Piste Cyclable de Stanstead" bike trail . It's a little hard to find, so best to look at a Google Map before leaving the library to get familiar. Basically it's up a short hill on Rue Passenger than downhill left. You'll see the trail to the right at a power substation. It's less than 5 minutes from Library to this trail by bike. Follow this bike trail about 2 miles until it crosses Rt. 247, about a 1/4 mile from the border station you where you entered Canada. Go left (south) on Rt. 247, through US customs, then a quick right at the post office to follow your way back on N. Derby Rd. to the Newport Trail and the start of the ride. The Tomifobia and Newport trails are both loaded with beautiful sites. The final trail (Piste Cyclable Stanstead) is more functional than beautiful, but was in excellent condition (hard-packed dirt) and kept me off the main road (Rt. 247) just to the south of the trail. Enjoy!

I had to wait in line for 15 min to reserve a room for the next day, then I was told I had to call as the women behind the from desk did not know how to book a reservation, she also did not seem to be a fan of my dog whom I took on the trip with me. The room was not what I expected, no warm blankets on the bed, felt like I was in a hospital bed with the cheap blankets, shower only had half a door, making the shower experience a cold one. The food was ok, chicken was chewy. Although I lived in VT and would walk the beautiful grounds of the property, would never stay there again.

We spent this past Friday morning (March 20) with guide Christiane at Mont Sutton, and she was…read moreabsolutely fantastic! As first-time visitors, her deep knowledge and enthusiasm allowed us to enjoy the mountain to the fullest--both during our session and on the days following. Christiane has skied Sutton since the 1960s and her passion for the terrain is infectious.

Her frequent check-ins and attentive nature allowed us to explore areas I never would have attempted on my own. Christiane is warm, open, and a brilliant communicator. I recommend her highly to anyone looking to get acquainted with the magic of Mont Sutton.

I tried to switch rooms, but they didn't have any available. Also, we didn't have hot water for three days while we were there. I kept calling the front desk and they said that they would let management know. I asked if management was working on the boiler system or where they were in the process but got no answers. Also, in the north wing of the hotel, there was only one elevator working. That caused delays getting to and from anywhere that we needed to go on that side of the hotel. Naturally, we took the stairs just about every time which was better for us anyway. It's highly unfortunate under this new management. It used to be a really nice resort and we really used to love staying there.
